   these colors are linked to the type of the file ( you can see it with ls -l)   
   green : executable   
   light blue : symbolic link   
   dark blue : folder   
      
   i don't remember where are store all the colors butti remember it is   
   kind of standard in unix terminals.   
      
   Don't forget too that on theeR4.5, the message "Welcome to BeOS" was   
   displayed with "Be" colored in blue and red,   
   which has been suppressed on the R5
